Careem launches operations in Turkey

Careem has just started its pilot operations in Turkey. The local-born ride sharing startup will start serving users in the cities of Istanbul, Ataturk, and Sabiha. Careem has been operating in over 30 cities including Doha, Karachi, and Yanbu.

While Uber has already been present in Istanbul, where it also runs an UberBOAT service from Bosphorus, Careem is launching a deeper operation into the country by starting in three cities.

Careem raised $60M in its last round of investment led by the The Abraaj Group.
